    Cleveland Locals down?

    Had several neighbors out, but now it's back. I blame the sun. Now if we could just get the problem of the Sun making everything warm and dry here in Ohio too.

    Thinking of switching to Directv

    I am curious to see the result of it... been doing this 7 years and still have not yet even seen my first SWM system. I have this weird luck, like I worked at a pizza shop for 7 years and never once had an anchovie pizza come in when I was on the line making pizzas.

    Payment reversal ??? Whats this on DTV

    Bingo. If it was a expiration date problem it would have just been outright declined to begin with.

    No hotpass?

    Just got a couple calls and I checked on my tv... no Nascar hotpass today? Is it completely gone or just problems this week? It was there last week.... am I missing something?

    Down the road

    That would be a HUGE difference. I have spoken with DTV reps many times about this, generally in reference to a camper, and if it is the same household and the "vacation" residence is not used simultaneously as the permanent residence they don't have a problem with it at all. Taking your...

    Off-the-record DirecTV Installation

    I am in Canton, may be able to help if all else fails. BTW, I am guessing this isn't anytime soon given that I just was outside having a smoke and noticed a "summer cottage" would not be in season right now, LOL.

    Installation Verification Fail 99 13v ODD

    I am on hold with ISS forever right now waiting to talk to them... but the dish is tuned in fine. Did the forced software and same problem. Checked the signal meters and they look fine, called home and had my wife check out signal to compare and all of the same transponders are on and the...

    "Rahinshield": Does it work?

    RV anti-freeze is generally used to keep the potable water lines in an RV from bursting in the winter... So I would suspect it doesn't have much of a toxicity to it. Everyone I have seen is used with GRAS ingredients.

    ATT Directv

    Perhaps it is a caller ID thing? Customer answer recording based on your phone number in the database?

    "Rahinshield": Does it work?

    Here is the solution to all of this... Cheap, yes Smells like butter, No Collects dirt, no Has to be reapplied every few weeks in the winter, no Can be purchased as a wipe for about a buck, yes It's called.... Rain-X sold at walmart, autozone, and most other places that have any glass...

    IRONIC?!?!?!

    Would you really want a TV service that seeks out and blocks nationally run ads by their competitors?

    IVR... really stupid question.

    Because I don't work for an HSP doesn't make me not an installer. I am a retail installer. Thank you for being just so unhelpful.

    Charter Sueing Directv in Ad claims

    Because we live in a capitalist country with a free market, the speed will be available once we get to that point. 5-10 years for us to need that kind of speed? Not likely. Considering that 10 years ago the thought of high speed internet instead of dial-up was just starting to become...

    IVR... really stupid question.

    I am not an HSP installer. If I had it on my work order I wouldn't be asking :)

    IVR... really stupid question.

    Anyone have the activation IVR number for Directv installers handy? I got a new phone and forgot to transfer it before I threw the old phone away. Thanks

    Is installation always this bad?

    When I worked for an HSP they were almost always out of something at the warehouse (little things... like dishes and receivers). I don't know how many times I had to get to the warehouse at 7am, wait for them to work through the bottleneck of installers getting equipment and turning in payroll...

    Is installation always this bad?

    D* bought the worst performing HSPs? That's like saying they took over the unhealthiest people in the graveyard... guess what, the rest of the people in the graveyard are still dead! D* needs to address this issue and quick, but they have been ignoring it for 6 years and I don't see them...

    Is installation always this bad?

    HSP's are DirecTV's way of telling you they don't care about you. HSPs hate their employees and are annoyed by customers. You got HSP'd Your best bet is to cancel your install, give it about 30 days, and call a local retailer instead.... Imagine the fun you are going to have for the next...

    How to get upgraded to SWM without using E-Bay

    Interesting... but quite frankly I would rather send $200 to someone on eBay than send $0.01 to an HSP.
